Alvarez and Saint-Denis train together in France ahead of upcoming bouts

Yoel Alvarez and Benoit Saint-Denis have begun a joint training camp in Bayonne, France under coach Nicolas Ott. The two lightweights were scheduled to fight each other a year ago, but the bout never materialized. Now they are helping each other prepare for their respective upcoming fights. Alvarez is set to face Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 on May 9, while Saint-Denis' next opponent has not been announced. Alvarez revealed that Saint-Denis contacted him to arrange the training partnership and suggested Saint-Denis may be preparing for an opponent with a similar style to Alvarez's.
